What's available

If you're in Spain, you can access Channel 4's streaming platform All 4, but the library is significantly stripped back compared to the UK version. You'll find a selection of classic and current Channel 4 titles including Hollyoaks, older seasons of The Great British Bake Off, some episodes of Gogglebox, and select documentaries from the Channel 4 catalogue. A handful of US acquisitions like Frasier reruns and some reality content are also accessible depending on current licensing windows.

What you're missing

The gap between what Spain gets and what UK viewers access is substantial. You're missing out on some of Channel 4's most-watched content, including:

  • Taskmaster — full series access is UK-only
  • It's a Sin — Russell T Davies' acclaimed drama is geo-blocked outside the UK
  • Derry Girls — all series unavailable in Spain
  • Catastrophe and Flowers — popular comedy dramas not in the Spanish library
  • Live Channel 4 streaming and catch-up TV from E4, More4, and Film4
  • New episodes of Married at First Sight UK shortly after broadcast

How to access other regions

To unlock the full UK library of All 4, you need a VPN. A VPN masks your real location and assigns you an IP address from another country. Connect to a UK server, then visit All 4 and create or log into your account. The platform will treat you as a UK-based viewer and give you access to the complete catalogue.

We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It's fast, reliable, and consistently unblocks All 4 without buffering issues. Connect to any of NordVPN's UK servers — London works well — and you're good to go.

Pricing

All 4 remains free with ads in the UK. If you're accessing via VPN, you won't need a paid subscription for the standard tier. All 4+ (ad-free) costs around £3.99 per month in the UK. NordVPN plans start at approximately €3.99 per month on a two-year plan, making the total cost very reasonable.

Our recommendation

If you're living in or visiting Spain and want the full Channel 4 experience, a VPN is the simplest fix. NordVPN gives you a fast, stable connection to UK servers, unlocking everything from Derry Girls to It's a Sin that you'd otherwise miss. Set it up once and you'll never deal with geo-blocks on All 4 again.
